Scenes About thd Eing Side The Trip to the Battle-Ground How News Was Received. ) Richbueg, Miss., July 8. Afterrorrying around for half the night and speculating on the chances for a fight, people at the hotels, the clubs and on the Btreets moved with common impulse toward the depot. At 11:30 o'clock people trusted not to street oars, but took cabs and carriages, and every jehu in the city did a land-office business. Down at the depot there was an indescribable crush. It seemed as though everybody in the city was going to the tight, and it happened that everybody wanted to get aboard at, the same time. Through careless management holders of inner-ring tickets, who paid dearly for their trip, were forced to go through a narrow passage,- well guarded with policemen, to reach the cars. At this small opening several hundred people congregated and jostled, pushed and fonght to secure admission. Clothes -were torn, hats crushed and nervous people shocked, but the crowd finally got through and the seven cars of the select train were quickly filled. In the throng were many of the most prominent people in the city of a business, financial, social and political character. It included bankers, merchants, lawyers, editors and reporters, and was, perhaps, as cosmopolitan a gathering . as has ever come together on any occasion. During the crush pickpockets tried to get in their work, and one sporting man from the Jiortn was relieved of his watch and chain. The greatest difficulty was experienced by the management in keeping people without tickets off the train, and a force of detectives was provided in each car. Some venturesome people who had no money to pay their way risked their lives on the roofs of the cars, and it required the strictest . watching to discover all who Jiung on the trucks and other dangerous portions of the coaches. Just before the train was finally made up Attorney General Rogers came aboard with Adjutant General F aires and Colonel Clem Walker of the Governor's stall, and stated that the fight must positively not take place on Louisiana soil. At first no answer was made, but the officials were finally told that the men would not fight in this state. It wag expected that the troops would appear at the depot, but of the two companies in the city one could muster but forty men and the other only a baker's dozen. In reply to a requisition made on them by the Governor for train accommodations for the troops the railroad people replied that the state could not be accommodated since all their rolling stock had been chartered. The Governor was, however, offered transportation with iiis men on the regular train. Donovan Bnd bottleholder Johnny Murphy were on the train when Kilrain left the city yesterday. All his baggage, stronia water, etc.. Was left behind, and Kilrain had to use other water, which it was feared might hurt his condition. At 1:30 the first train, with twelve coaches, pulled out, and the conductor and engineer were given religious instructions to go straight through to the battle-ground without a stop. Aboard the train the information was furnished officially that both Sullivan and Kilrain had reached thebattle-ground at 6 :3G. There was scarcely any betting at all on the train. Passengers simply talked over the merits of the two men and slept. On the way over many shots were fired in order to frighten oft stealers of rides, and the conductors found many tough characters secreted in closets and other out of the way places. The discovery of a group of these non-ticketholders almost precipitated a shooting affray on the way over, but trouble was avoided by the ejection of the sneaks. On the train coming over were the chief of police of Kew Orleans, the commissioner of public buildings and, in fact, most of the prominent officials of the city. The attorney general and his staff left the car at Slide!! and etood at the railway station until morning waiting for a returning train. The fight took place at Richburg, which is 92 miles from Meridian and 1U3 Irom New Orleans. So perfect were the arrangements that there was absolutely no fear of military interference. Kichburg is virtually owned by Mr. Rich, and the place covers an area of 10,000 acres, extending over three counties of Mississippi. Mr. Kich is the owner of an extensive saw-null, and this place was picked out simply because of thebars it ottered to suspicion. Last night after darkness a body of 170 ' men went to work by the aid of bonfires to ' perfect the battle-ground, which is on the . sawdust of the mill, and seats for l.'itAt peo-. jile were hastily constructed. -. ihe owner of the property had made splendid arrangements for the pugilists and room on the property was provided for Kilrain. Quarters were also fitted up for Sullivan and his party. In these apartments the fighters spent? the last night before the fight. At the Mississippi line there was a party of 25 armed men and the train was flagged. But no attention was paid to the signal and the special dashed by at a speed of 25 miles an hour. It was just before daybreak when the train got into Mississippi. The ring was pitched and everything in readiness , for the fight to take place at 8 o'clock. SCENES EX ROUTE To the Battlefield and on the Ground. New Orleans, July 8. The big fight is over. Kilrain has-been fairly, squarely, honestly and honorably whipped in a contest in which the beaten man has no cause to be ashamed. There is no manner of doubt that Jake Kilrain is a game man and a good fighter, and the men who saw the fight today will put up their money on him the next time he enters the ring against any living man except Sullivan. No account of this much-talked-of contest will be complete unless the thread of the narrative is taken up at the time of the departure of the first train from New Orleans. Monday morning at 1 :30 o'clock. The rush for admission to the $15 coaches for seats was something indescribable. The thousands of men surrounded the depot for hours before the announced time of departure, and madly jostled each other for a favorable position. When the doors were fairly opened the crush was frightful, and 2l pound men were lifted off' their feet and suspended in air by the mere force of forward and backward pressure. It took nearly two hours to seat the $15 ticket holders, but there was not room for ail of them and some had to occupy camp-stools in the aisles. The anxiety to see the fight amounted almost to a frenzy, and those who were without the means to pay $10 or $15, the price of transportation and admission, took license of losing their lives in attempting to steal a ride. Just before the $15 train started from New Orleans it was discovered that scores of men and boys had concealed themselves on the cross beams connecting the wheels, while others hung on to the long iron rods connecting the trucks. The greater number, however, were perched on the roofs of the cars, in some cases as many as twenty-five to a coach. These interlopers were discovered and driven off by the police before starting, but once the train was in motion they swarmed back like so many flies and remained to the end of the journey. But the most reckless deed of all was that of three young rascals who concealed themselves on the inner side of the cowcatcher, and were never dislodged. The ring was pitched at Rich burg in a clearing on the edge of a pine forest, near the littie village, which is 102 miles from New Orleans and 96 from Meridan, on the Queen and Crescent road. The ring was pitched on a patch of green turf, and surrounding on three sides were tiers oi seats ten feet high, put up by an enterprising local speculator, who charged $2 for the privilege of a seat. Unfortunately, however, he occupied the space set aside for the inner ring seat holders and those who had paid $15 for accommodations there claimed the right to jit in the improvised amphitheater without extra charge. The local man who had taken the risk of receiving $2 for occupancy of the seats appealed to the crowd to pay him, and made the point that gentlemen who were occupying tbem were in honor bound to accept it. The crowd jeered at the suggestion, and those who in their anxiety to get . seated had . paid $2 repented their rashness. Four-fifths of the seating capacity of the ring , was filled by the $15 crowd, some 1100 in number, who arrived on the battle-ground an hour before the $10 people came along. The alleged reporters' stand was composed of three rows of seats on a level with the ring, and was provided with a rough wooden board in front of them to be used as rests for writing pads. There was room for twenty in each row, but the representatives of the second row could see nothing, their view being obstructed bv those who sat on the same level in the front row. The $2 seats were the best on the ground and afforded an admirable view of every part of the ring. Outside of the ring the villagers sat on wood and on wagons piled with lumber, while others enjoyed the sight from rudely constructed platforms six or seven feet high. The small boys, as usual, had the best view from elevated perches in the surrounding pine trees. An enterprising photographer had three cameras in position on ladders and took views of the crowd and the sarrounaings. It was 8 o'clock when the first train reached Richburg, but even at that early hour the upper rows of seats were found occupied by Kichburgers, who had sat ou their elevated perches since daylight, waiting for the show to begin. The assembled multitude sat broiling under the blaze of a hot sun. Those who had umbrellas were allowed to open them, but the intimation was plain and general that when the fight began the umbrellas would have to go. After paying $15, and after coming a hundred miles to see a fight, the crowd was in no temper to tolerate any obstructions to the view. The general aspect of the crowd was anything but tough. The hoodlum element was greatly outnumbered by an eminently respectable crowd. Professional . men, merchants, bankers some from New Orleans, others from neighboring states were present to a preponderating degree. Many of the spectators came from points as far distant as San Francisco in the West and New York and Boston in the Kast; but these were mostly of the sporting variety bookmakers, gamblers, professional pugilists et id omne genus. And while the holders of gilt-edge tickets at $15 each were disembarking and scrambling for places of vantage at the ring side, the $10 people on the second train were haying experiences between New Orleans and the battle-ground. At 2:04 o'clock the train, which was booked to leave at 2 o'clock, started, and then those who had secured seats settled themselves comfortably, many going to sleep. Those who were unprovided with tickets felt ill at ease, fearing each moment tnat the conductor would demand tickets. On the roofs of the coaches quite a number of dead-heads had taken retage and withstood the clouds of dust and cinder as best they could. The train reached a point within a mile oi Slideil Station when it was discovered that there was no more coal. The engine was detached from the train and rau five miles up the road, where a i :U'jply of coal was obtained. After a de- ' lay of half an hour the train again started, and running at the rate of about thirty miles an hour passed Halloo Station, where a large crowd of men, who had come out on the Sunday excursion train to witness the tight, were seen standing disappointed beside the the track. Just beyond this station is the West Pearl river trestle and about a hundred men and boys bad placed themselves here in order to jump on the train when, the speed of the engine was slacked. Of these only one succeeded in getting a foothold on the rear platform of the last coach at the imminent risk of his life. At every station crowds of peopie shouted at the train as it rushed by. but no stop was made. About a mile beyond Fast I'earl river a company of Mississippi militia, who had been sent to the state line yesterday afternoon to prevent the tight, was ,'ound. The speed of the tram had been increased and ran by them at the rate of forty miles an hour, the crowds shooting, yelling at them in derision. About ten miles from the battle ground the train stopped and those on the roofs of the cars descended from their perches. A dirtier, blacker set of men, outside of chimney sweeps, were never seen. Their appearance caused shouts of laughter from more fortunate comrades, who had braved the conductor successfully. In the last coach were a number of prominent sports from the Kast. Principal among them were Joe Coburp, Jimmy Bird, Dominick McCaffrey and Billy Madden. It was a noteworthy fact that, although pus- I V - I ' ri7A,HEzL SCIXTJVAX. sengers on tne tram numbered among them some of the roughest characters in New Orleans, they were very quiet and or- aerty. a. lew ot tnem were drunk. At 9 o'clock the second train reached the battle ground, after several lone and vexa tious delars. The locomotive did not have power to draw the train up grade or around curves. The coaches were also in poor running order, hot boxes being frequent and causing delay. Within twelve miles of the battle ground half of the train was detached to await tne return ot the locomotive. W hen the tram arrived at its destination rush was made to the ring, which was pitcnea halt a mile from the depot. It was 9 o'clock and ten minutes before the train of $10 men made its appearance. and in five minutes after its appearance the amphitheater was a packed mass of eager and perspiring humanity, something lite duuu in number, isy mis time a friendly cloud spread oyer the face of the sun and tempered the burning rays. The crowd waited patiently and in good humor. Many were hungry, all thirsty ana tired, but there was no relief, except at the hands of a colored man who peddled cheese sandwiches of doubtful age at 15 cents a piece, while another colored man peddled water at 5 cents a cud. A wave of delight was caused by the appearance of a man witn a tray lull or niied beer glasses, which sold like hot cakes at 25 cents s glass. For some reason after disposing of His load, he failed to reappear, in spite of repeatea uemanas in concert tor beer from a point directly at right angles to the reporters' stand. They got no beer, however, and somebody started a corner in water and the price rose rapidly from 5 to 75 cents a bucket. At 9:45 Pony Moore and Sullivan appeared within the Luclosure and were received with cheers more at signs of the prospect of an early fight than as a mark of deference. The Irish prince and Sullivan looked a shade pale. The next to appear were Dan Murphy, Tom Costello.Mike Cleary, Joe Murphy and Wakely, Johnson and Barnett, all backers of Sullivan. Bud Kenaud'i appearance was also the signal for applause. Kilrain was the first of the adversaries to put in an appearance. He was accompanied by Charley Mitchell. They were both received with applause and cheurs, in ackhowledgement oi which Mitchell tipped his derby. Kilrain's appearance dismayed his backers. He was unshaven and look haggard, worn and weak. In short be looked scared. He was white under the gills and behaved like a man being led to execution. He Was not stripped, but wore a striped shirt and striped pants. He afterward disrobed in the ring. Soon after Sullivan came, accompanied by the ever-vigilant Muldoon. Sullivan wore a long ulster, or '"sweater," as it is called, extending from his neck almost down to his ankles. His appearance was the signal for a tornado of applause and cheers, a demonstration not without its effect in the Kilrain corner. Both principals were led to seats in corners, diagonally opposite each other, and were surrounded by friends, bottle-holders, backers and a miscellaneous throug of partisans. The fanning process seemed to have an invigorating effect on Kilrain and he began to brighten under its influence. Suilivan, too, looked flushed, but not particularly llorid. He submitted to being fanned with patience and seemed to realize that his destiny hung on the issue of the contest. Sullivan's immediate attendants were William Muldoonj and Mike Cleary, seconds; Dan Murphy of Boston and Tom Costello and Phil. Lynch, umpires. On the other side were Charles Mitchell and Mike Donvan, seconds, W. B. Masterson and Dennis Butler, umpires, and Joe Murphy bottleholder. Everything being ostensibly in readiness, Mitchell advanced to the center of the ring and said: "Gentlemen, Pat Kendrick of New Orleans has been tendered by us as referee and objected to by the other side. They have named John Fitzpatrick. I don't know either of the gentlemen, so I propose we take ballots, as was done in the Sullivan-Ryan fight." The Sullivan party objected. Donovan then proposed Ed Mellen of Boston, who was also refused. Mitchell then suggested, "Let's toss for it." "That's right." shouted the crowd, "That's fair," but even this did not suit the Sullivan contingent. It was Fitzpatrick or nothing with tbem. It began to look as though the Sullivanites were crowding things . and were not so anxious for a fight as they had all along seemed. This must not be attributed to any scheme of Sullivan himself, but the arrogance of his. backers, who were disposed to have things their own way. Finally Mitchell captured the crowd by saying, "All right, gentlemen, I don't know him, hut we understand he is a square man, and all we ask is fair play." The crowd applauded and then the preliminary work was begun. Both principals began to strip. Sullivan was already arrayed for the encounter and had simply to remove his sweater, showing his magnificent torso pink with the glow of health and the perfection of condition. His chest and back looked as big as the side cf a house, and an involuntary buzz of admiration circulated through the crowd when his massive frame was displayed in its towering stature. He wore green knee breeches, white socks and spiked shoes. The American flag encircled his waist like a sash, but did not cover the pitch plaster placed around his body. Kilrain wore one of similar construction, but not so perfectly adjusted as Sullivan's, Kilrain was attired in black tights, blue socks and spiked shoes. When Kilrain's bare form was displayed to the multitude there were audible expressions of disappointment. His skin was of a pale, sickly hue, his chest narrow and the muscles of" his arms somewhat too salient, shrewd observers thought a shade too fine, and it was painfully evident that he wag Zjo match for Suilivan, either in condition or physical power. It is claimed that he weighed 195 pounds and that his antagonist tipped the beam at 205. This was hardly creditable. Tnere was not less than 25 to 30 pounds difference in weight in Sullivan's favor. In the language of an observer, "He looked as if he weighed a ton." John Fitzpatrick, the referee, is a local politician of note, and for many years administrator of public improvements, but defeated in a recent election. His only qualification for the position he accepted was nerve and decision of character. He evidently knew little of London prize-ring rules. He admitted as much when be entered the ring. Raising his hand for silence he said: "I am not conversant with the London prize-ring rules, but I expect to see this fight made a fair test of niaulv superiority, and will do my best in that direction. In regard to the disputed point as to when the thirty seconds be tween rounds shall begin, I decide it shall Degin irom tne time a man talis." This speech was applauded. William h. Harding, on behalf of Richard K. Fox. handed Kilrain $1000 m greenbacks to bet himself. Kilrain took the money and gave it into the hands of the refer ee. where it was covered by a $1000 note furnished jointly by Barney MeGuire of New York and Chief of Police Hughes. Then business of the day began. The earlier rounds of a prize fight are not as revolting as is ordinarily supposed. During the entire progress of the seventy-five rounds neither of the combatants showed outward signs of severe physical punishment. There was - not that abundant flow of blood from the nose or mouth which embellishes accounts of "scraps" between third-rate fighters. Sullivan had his ear split, both of his eyes bunged, his neck scratched and both hands disabled, but evinced no ootward symptoms of suffering. Kilrain's rip was cut, his left ear smashed and his short ribs severely pounded, but he bled to a very inconsiderable extent, and only a big bruise, the size of a man's band, showed where Sullivan's terrificrieht hand repeatedly jabbed him. Later in the light, when Kilrain began to grow weak in leg and arm and tottered about the victim of Sullivan's superior, but greatly diminished in muscular force, then the spectacle became not only revolting, but pitiable. Soilivan seems to have profited some by past experience. He has evidently abandoned rushing tactics. He did not rush to any noticeable extent, but when he did his agile and wiry antagonist, before he began to weaken, invariable landed on his jaw or cheek, or some equally available locality. Sullivan was constantly on the aggressive, but there was an absence of, that" furious impetuosity for which he ' has become noted. He had learned to. respect Kilrain's arm by repute, and his knowledge on that point was greatjy enriched today by actual experience. On thing is evident, Sullivan is no match for Kiirain, neither as a westler or boxer. Give Kilrain Sullivan's immeasurable driving power and expanse of chest and shoulders and no man could stand against him. Kilrain's pluck rjd game-ness was a theme of admiration' for those who understand ring etratogrm' and trne endurance. The Baltiraorean .was practically whipped in the thifU round. Suilivan got in a fierce blow on his side under the heart from which he never recovered. An ordinary man wouid have thrown up the sponge in the next round. Kilrain's seconds themselves acknowledge that the fight was over then, but with the indifference of stoic, the luck of a hero, Kilrain continues the unequal struggle and administered many stinging blows to his adversary, and yet in spite of this an indiscriminating crowd, mistaking caution and strategy for cowardice, yelled at Kilrain, calling him a "cur" and "coward" when he sought to avoid Sullivan's blow bv dodging, or when he tried to out-wind Kim by retreating before him all around the ring. It is undeniably true that after the ninth round, when suffering excruciating pain from his bruise under the heart ana repeated knock-downs, Kilrain did lay himself open to the charge of "foul" by falling down when not apparently knocked down. These falls were repeatedly claimed, but never allowed by the referee. But all this and more was made up and over-balanced in the forty-sixth round, when Sullivan, after knocking Kilrain down, deliberately and unequivocally fouled the latter by i'umping upon his antagonist with both :nees when he lay prostrate before him. It was as unmanly an act as was ever done in the ring, and should have resulted in an award of the fight to Kilrain. Any fair-minded referee with the courage of his convictions and a knowledge cf his duty would not have hesitated an instant. But the "foul" was not allowed, and the half whipped and jeered man. hooted at by the crowd, continued to come up smiling every time, although the certainty of more fearful punishment to come stared him in the face. Even after Kilrain was ready to again come to the scratch, his seconds, fearing direful results, threw up the sponge despite bis protests. It has since transpired that Kilrain's seconds buoyed him up throughout the fight by picturing to him the effect of defeat upon his wife and children. It was not deemed strange then, when Kilrain was seated in his car on the homeward journey, sore and bleeding and brooding over his defeat, the big tears roiled down bis cheek and melted the hearts even of the rough men who accompanied him. The day was full of unpleasant incidents. The hoodlum element, although in the minority, did nearly all of the shouting and cowed an already defeated man by their i savage shouts of triumph and yells for more blood. In the thirty-fonrth round they hissed mm for retreating a perfectly legitimate feature of ring tactics. In the thirty-fifth they hissed for a similar cause and shouted to the referee: "Make him fight." In the thirty-sixth they hooted at a repetition of these tactics, but, weak as he was, when they got into close quarters Kilrain would now and then get iu a lick that made the Boston fighter acknowledge his prowess. In the fifty-second round the crowd shouted to Kilrain, "Fight, you cur," although he was then making a tight that would have made any five of them quail. In the fifty- sixtn rouna one oi . tne crowd shouted, ' Hurrah for Kilrain," but the response was feeble. But when Sullivan got In a telling blow the crowd gave him a yell and cheer of delight. In the sixty-sixth found thesun reappeared and added" to Kilrain's distress, lie was visibly weakening and bitting wild, but whenever time was called came up amiline a forced smile, perhaps, but all the same a smile. I he brutality ot the crowd increased with Kilrain's discomfiture. In the sixty-fourth round they yelled to Sullivan: "Finish him!" and some shouted "Kill him!" Sullivan fought the battle of his life. and. with the exception of the S2d round, fought fairly and squarely. He also took punishment like a Spartan and never lost confidence or nerve. One finger of either hand was broken in the tight, but no one discov ered it but his seconds, lie showed signs of tiring toward the end and had to be helped to bis feet when time was called. There were periods in the fight, even long after the eventful third round, when the issue was in doubt. Had Kilrain been in condition the result might have been different. Just before the tight the snenit of Marion county came the manager, replied defiantly, "That's uli right. Mr. Sheriff; vou have done your duty," and then the ficht went on. As soon as the sponge was thrown up, Muldoon and Cleary ttircw a blanket over the stalwart form of the victor and rushed and pushed him across the ring toward the entrance at the press stand. A loud and long cheer, interspersed with yells, greeted the champion, and an excited crowd of men and boys followed the three closely, bullivan. aespite earnest protestations, was pushed into the road toward a barouche and was driven to the depot to his special car. A ditch had to be crossed in order to reach the coach. Across this the champion sprang lightly, followed by Muldoon and Cleary. Sullivan had received blows on each optic and bis left ear was bleeding where Kilrain had planted a cutting blow. His eyes were swollen and discolored and his cheek was bleeding. On reaching the coach the doors were closed. Shortly thereafter the special train containing the Associated Press representatives and the Kilrain party was detached from the coach containing the Sullivan party and proceeded to the city, leaving the Sullivan special car at Richburg. The coach was attached to the first regular train, and only reached the city tonight, when the champion was conveyed to his quarters by his friends and seconds. ARRANGING THE PRELIMINARIES. Selecting the Referee in the Person of John Fitzpatrick. New Orleans, July 8. There was great excitement at the ring side as Bud Renaud, Mike Donovan and Johnnie Murphy made their appearance, which they did at 9 o'clock a. m. Great excitement among the crowd when it became .apparent that the fight was actually to occur. , On the toss-up for position Kilrain's representative, Mike Donovan, won and selected tne northeast corner. Muldoon, Sullivan's representative, chose the southwest corner. At this juncture the sheriff of the county made his appearance, and in the name of the State of Mississippi commanded peace and retired, this being the only effort on the part of the authorities to interfere with the fight. At this moment the flag of Sullivan, brought from Boston, was placed in his corner amidst great enthusiasm. At about 10 o'clock, the sun having gone behind a cloud, there was no perceptible advantage in either corner. Kilrain was the first to make his appearance, aocompanied by . Mine " Donovan end-Charlie Mitchell. He was greeted with ap- Filanse, but wore a verv serious air, asif ully realizing the work before him. As the crowd recognized the stalwart form of the big fellow as he jumped into the ring the cheers were deafening. He looked in marked contrast to Kilrain, seeming to be perfectly at his ease regarding the termination of the contest. The name of Pat Kenrick of .New Orleans was offered by the Kilrain side as referee, but he was not acceptable to the other side, the representative of Sullivan proposing the name of John Fitzpatrick of New Orleans, saying: "I want the fight today to take place on its merits, and may the best man win. I have only one name to present for the position of referee, and that one is known throughout the state as an upright, just and honest man. I name John Fitzpatrick of New Orleans." Great ap-plauae.l Charley Mitchell said: "I don't know the gentleman- I don't know the gentleman just named, but I think if the other side want to fight the one we have named ought to satisfy them.'' Charley Johnson would not agree, saying if the Kiirain party would not take John Fitzpatrick they did not want to fight. At this juncture Mitchell proposed that they toss up to see which of the above named gentlemen would act as referee, but this did not seem to be the wish of the Sullivan side, though the crowd favored the idea. Then Professor Butler proposed the name of a ?ew York man, who, however, did not prove aoceptahle to the -other side, and, after considerable wrangling over the matter, Charley Mitchell finally : said they were willing to accept Mr. Fitzpatrick and the announcement was received with cheers. Mitchell here went over and examined the spikes on Sullivan's shoes, Cleary doing the same to Kilrain. Fitzpatrick: "I am not very conversant with the rules. This will be a fair contest of the merits of the two men, and I will do the best I can. In regard to the question that has been spoken of as to what time the thirty seconds between the rounds shall commence, I decide that it commences from the time the man fails." W. E. Harding at this moment stepped up to Kilrain and placing $1000 in his Hands, told limi it was sent bv Mr. foi tor him to bet with Suilivan. Kilrain at once went over to Sullivan aud offered to bet him that sum he would win the fight. The bet was immediately' taken up by Sullivan and the money, $2000, deposited iu the hands of the referee. Both men beinc now stripped, it was apparent to every one present tne great superiority possessed by Sul- liyan over his antagonist in the matter of size ana development, the muscles of his arms standing out in big welts, his driving power appearing tremendous, and he seeming in the very best of spirits. THE BATTLE BY ROUNDS. Kilrain Was Never in It at Any Stage. New Orleans. July 8. At 10:10 the principals and seconds advanced to the center of the ring and formed a Maltese cross in shaking hands, the latter retiring- outside the ropes and the principals to their respective corners. At me call ot time, Kilruin ana suilivan auvancea to tne cen ter of the ring, the latter wearing a confi dent smile, Kilrain looking serious, and the great battle for the world's championship began. for Sullivan, feinting with bis left, suddenly clinched Sullivan and threw him heavily to the turf, securing first honors and loud applause.

The men then clinched and Suilivan se cured tbe second fall amid loud cheering from his partisans. Time 30 seconds. Kouiid 3 Kilrain rushed to Sullivan at once, clinching and catching the big fellow around the neck, but the latter immediately broke away and got in a short arm blow on the neck. In this round Kilrain struck at least half a dozen apparently foul blows below the belt, which the referee, from: bU poiition, could not see, but which were greeted with hisses by tbe crowd, it aoiearintr; and beiusr so proclaimed by Sullivan's frieuds, that Kilrain wanted to lose on a ioul. The round closed by Kilraiu going down from a light blow on the neck. Kound 4 Both men sparred cautiously for an opening. Kilrain, arter one or two feints oa the part of Huliivan, lutdied in, aud Sullivan, securing a cross-buttock hold, attempted to throw the Baltimore boy, but he broke away and landed a stinger ou Sullivan's jaw. Both men then sparred cautiously, Kilrain succeeding in getting in a light blow on Sullivau's neck. The round, which was in favor of Kilrain, ended by the latter falling to avoid punishment.. Kouud 5 Bullivan opened with a feint with his left, upon which Kilrain immediately retreated. Suilivan followed him up and Kilraiu made a vicious Iudl-c at his head, which, however, fell short, and Sullivan swung his terrible right at his opponent's jugular, he too falling short, aud Kilrain countered harmlessly on his neck.

Round 0 Kilrain came up looking very serious, probably realiing that he had undertaken a huge contract and as he showed no disposition to come to the center of the ring Sullivan impatiently exclaimed: -stand up and tight like a man; I'm no sprinter, I'm a!ig!itr." As soon as Ktlraiti came near him, Sull'vau made a pass but it fell short, aud Kilrain countered on his stomach, his blows evidently lacking force, doing .suilivan no npnsrent damage.

Kilrain was toeing the scratch when lonovun, his second, threw up the sponge, thus declaring Sullivan the victor. Kilrain was by no means satisfied, but notwithstanding his protestations he was bundled up in a black shawl and hurried to a carriage In waiting. Kilrain, Donovan. Butler, Murphy and Mitchell drove rapidly to the train aud entered their car. Sullivan, Muldoon and Cleary entered the first coach. When Kilrain had stated himself he was soon surrounded by a host of sympathizing friends, who consoled him for his misfortune. Kilrain wept like a child and continued exclaiming, "I'd bad him beaten." A large crowd had followed the backs and remained standing around the coaches in which Sullivan and Kilrain were. Mr. Sjteventon, who had been Kilrain's friend throughout, remained by ins side and sponged him occasionally, giving him a drink of whisky and water. Kil-. rain would not be consoled, but continued to bemoan the loss of the battle which ha had hoped to win. 1'ro lessor Michael J. Donovan of the New York Athletic club, who so ably seconded Kilrain. I'rofessor Dennis Butler of tbe Southern Athletic club and Johnnie Murphy, bottleholder, remained beside their principal, one relieving the other in ministering to his comfort and relief. None felt the do-feat of Kilrain more than did these people, and Professor Donovan stiated that though Kilrain did not want to throw up the sponge he concluded to do so, for his principal was exhausted from the heat and exercise, as well ns from the punishment be had received but had so nobly stood. Charley Mitchell, Kilrain's trainer, held himself aloof from him, however, but there were many other frieuds of Kilrain's t.iere to take his place. As soon as the two gladiators and other friends had seated themselves in the coaches the train moved oil at a rapid rate. Kiirain appeared to be Buttering more from mental than physical injuries and was very gloomy. At times he wonld brighten up a little and smile, but uiose occasions were rare. His face did not betray the great punishment he had received at the hands of his oig antagonist, lie had a cut under the nose across both lips, and his left eye was slightly discolored and swollen. His right hand bad been injured by a blow on Bullivan 'a head, and his left instep had been cut by the spikes on Sullivan's shoes, which cut through the leather of Kilrain's left shoe, lie had received terrible punishment about the ribs and doubtless suffered considerable pain, but he gave no voice to bis agony, If any he en dured, tie claimed to nave Deen moreover-come by the heat that by the blows of bullivan.Knferring to the fight, Kilrain said that he had not been trained properly, and that he was not in condition when he entered the ring, and this seemed to be the im- Eression of every one who saw him when e entered. Ho would work and get some money together again, he laid, and would once more make a trial lor mi cnampion-ship. He had Sullivan "done" twice, he continued, but he had not been properly trained and was unable to take advantage of this, but he was willing to fight Sullivan again. He punched rjullivon several times and did not seem to bit and he labored under the impression that something must have been done to him ; in other words, that be had been drugged. He did not bave the strength of a cm. but could stand any amount of punishment but could not inflict any, and he could soo that his blows were not hurting Sullivan. lie complained of the manner in which Sullivan had deliberately jumped on hira with both fet while he was down, hut he should not find fault with this, but be had trusted too much to bis friends. One of those aronud him exclaimed, reproachfully, "Some of vour friends, you should sav." ".Sullivan was done for twice,' ho said, but he was also, and could not take advantage of his adversary's condition. Kilrain laid down on the seat with his feet stretched across the opposite seat, and coats being placed over him he fell asleep. When the train was crossing the trestle about eighteen miles from the city Mitchell for the first time entered tbe car aud Kilrain awoke. At the siding about a mile beyond Geutill, while the train was at a standstill, Kilrain reproached Mitchell for the condition he was in when he entered the ring. Mitchell replied and quite a crowd gathered around the men in the coach. Mitchell attributed Kilrain's defeat to its being one of his oil days. A number of sporting men who knew Kilrain well and bad seen him in training at Baltimore remarked that something must have been the matter with him, for thev had never seen him hit so feebly as he did today.Johnnie Murphy said it was not Sullivan who knocked Kilrain out, but the sun, for Bullivan did not hurt him much., Kilrain's condition, be thought, was mysterious, and he was overtrained besides. Frof. Butler declared that he had announced his belief in Kilrain and he had stuck to him through thick and thin. Mitchell had dropped him like a dog when the fight went gainst him, but this would not be ihe case with his other frieuds. When the train reached the station at the bead of Fress street two carriages v. etc procured for the Kilrain party, and Kilrain, Stevenson, Donohue, Murphy, Hurler, Mitchell and 1'ouy Moore were dri ten up to town. Kilrain was conducted to a Kussian bath, and after being subjected thereto he repaired to his quarters at the Southern Athletic club and retired to lest. DONE WITH 1HI XII NQ.

Scenes About thd Eing Side The Trip to the Battle-Ground How News Was Received. ) Richbueg, Miss., July 8. Afterrorrying around for half the night and speculating on the chances for a fight, people at the hotels, the clubs and on the Btreets moved with common impulse toward the depot. At 11:30 o'clock people trusted not to street oars, but took cabs and carriages, and every jehu in the city did a land-office business. Down at the depot there was an indescribable crush. It seemed as though everybody in the city was going to the tight, and it happened that everybody wanted to get aboard at, the same time. Through careless management holders of inner-ring tickets, who paid dearly for their trip, were forced to go through a narrow passage,- well guarded with policemen, to reach the cars. At this small opening several hundred people congregated and jostled, pushed and fonght to secure admission. Clothes -were torn, hats crushed and nervous people shocked, but the crowd finally got through and the seven cars of the select train were quickly filled. In the throng were many of the most prominent people in the city of a business, financial, social and political character. It included bankers, merchants, lawyers, editors and reporters, and was, perhaps, as cosmopolitan a gathering . as has ever come together on any occasion. During the crush pickpockets tried to get in their work, and one sporting man from the Jiortn was relieved of his watch and chain. The greatest difficulty was experienced by the management in keeping people without tickets off the train, and a force of detectives was provided in each car. Some venturesome people who had no money to pay their way risked their lives on the roofs of the cars, and it required the strictest . watching to discover all who Jiung on the trucks and other dangerous portions of the coaches. Just before the train was finally made up Attorney General Rogers came aboard with Adjutant General F aires and Colonel Clem Walker of the Governor's stall, and stated that the fight must positively not take place on Louisiana soil. At first no answer was made, but the officials were finally told that the men would not fight in this state. It wag expected that the troops would appear at the depot, but of the two companies in the city one could muster but forty men and the other only a baker's dozen. In reply to a requisition made on them by the Governor for train accommodations for the troops the railroad people replied that the state could not be accommodated since all their rolling stock had been chartered. The Governor was, however, offered transportation with iiis men on the regular train. Donovan Bnd bottleholder Johnny Murphy were on the train when Kilrain left the city yesterday. All his baggage, stronia water, etc.. Was left behind, and Kilrain had to use other water, which it was feared might hurt his condition. At 1:30 the first train, with twelve coaches, pulled out, and the conductor and engineer were given religious instructions to go straight through to the battle-ground without a stop. Aboard the train the information was furnished officially that both Sullivan and Kilrain had reached thebattle-ground at 6 :3G. There was scarcely any betting at all on the train. Passengers simply talked over the merits of the two men and slept. On the way over many shots were fired in order to frighten oft stealers of rides, and the conductors found many tough characters secreted in closets and other out of the way places. The discovery of a group of these non-ticketholders almost precipitated a shooting affray on the way over, but trouble was avoided by the ejection of the sneaks. On the train coming over were the chief of police of Kew Orleans, the commissioner of public buildings and, in fact, most of the prominent officials of the city. The attorney general and his staff left the car at Slide!! and etood at the railway station until morning waiting for a returning train. The fight took place at Richburg, which is 92 miles from Meridian and 1U3 Irom New Orleans. So perfect were the arrangements that there was absolutely no fear of military interference. Kichburg is virtually owned by Mr. Rich, and the place covers an area of 10,000 acres, extending over three counties of Mississippi. Mr. Kich is the owner of an extensive saw-null, and this place was picked out simply because of thebars it ottered to suspicion. Last night after darkness a body of 170 ' men went to work by the aid of bonfires to ' perfect the battle-ground, which is on the . sawdust of the mill, and seats for l.'itAt peo-. jile were hastily constructed. -. ihe owner of the property had made splendid arrangements for the pugilists and room on the property was provided for Kilrain. Quarters were also fitted up for Sullivan and his party. In these apartments the fighters spent? the last night before the fight. At the Mississippi line there was a party of 25 armed men and the train was flagged. But no attention was paid to the signal and the special dashed by at a speed of 25 miles an hour. It was just before daybreak when the train got into Mississippi. The ring was pitched and everything in readiness , for the fight to take place at 8 o'clock. SCENES EX ROUTE To the Battlefield and on the Ground. New Orleans, July 8. The big fight is over. Kilrain has-been fairly, squarely, honestly and honorably whipped in a contest in which the beaten man has no cause to be ashamed. There is no manner of doubt that Jake Kilrain is a game man and a good fighter, and the men who saw the fight today will put up their money on him the next time he enters the ring against any living man except Sullivan. No account of this much-talked-of contest will be complete unless the thread of the narrative is taken up at the time of the departure of the first train from New Orleans. Monday morning at 1 :30 o'clock. The rush for admission to the $15 coaches for seats was something indescribable. The thousands of men surrounded the depot for hours before the announced time of departure, and madly jostled each other for a favorable position. When the doors were fairly opened the crush was frightful, and 2l pound men were lifted off' their feet and suspended in air by the mere force of forward and backward pressure. It took nearly two hours to seat the $15 ticket holders, but there was not room for ail of them and some had to occupy camp-stools in the aisles. The anxiety to see the fight amounted almost to a frenzy, and those who were without the means to pay $10 or $15, the price of transportation and admission, took license of losing their lives in attempting to steal a ride. Just before the $15 train started from New Orleans it was discovered that scores of men and boys had concealed themselves on the cross beams connecting the wheels, while others hung on to the long iron rods connecting the trucks. The greater number, however, were perched on the roofs of the cars, in some cases as many as twenty-five to a coach. These interlopers were discovered and driven off by the police before starting, but once the train was in motion they swarmed back like so many flies and remained to the end of the journey. But the most reckless deed of all was that of three young rascals who concealed themselves on the inner side of the cowcatcher, and were never dislodged. The ring was pitched at Rich burg in a clearing on the edge of a pine forest, near the littie village, which is 102 miles from New Orleans and 96 from Meridan, on the Queen and Crescent road. The ring was pitched on a patch of green turf, and surrounding on three sides were tiers oi seats ten feet high, put up by an enterprising local speculator, who charged $2 for the privilege of a seat. Unfortunately, however, he occupied the space set aside for the inner ring seat holders and those who had paid $15 for accommodations there claimed the right to jit in the improvised amphitheater without extra charge. The local man who had taken the risk of receiving $2 for occupancy of the seats appealed to the crowd to pay him, and made the point that gentlemen who were occupying tbem were in honor bound to accept it. The crowd jeered at the suggestion, and those who in their anxiety to get . seated had . paid $2 repented their rashness. Four-fifths of the seating capacity of the ring , was filled by the $15 crowd, some 1100 in number, who arrived on the battle-ground an hour before the $10 people came along. The alleged reporters' stand was composed of three rows of seats on a level with the ring, and was provided with a rough wooden board in front of them to be used as rests for writing pads. There was room for twenty in each row, but the representatives of the second row could see nothing, their view being obstructed bv those who sat on the same level in the front row. The $2 seats were the best on the ground and afforded an admirable view of every part of the ring. Outside of the ring the villagers sat on wood and on wagons piled with lumber, while others enjoyed the sight from rudely constructed platforms six or seven feet high. The small boys, as usual, had the best view from elevated perches in the surrounding pine trees. An enterprising photographer had three cameras in position on ladders and took views of the crowd and the sarrounaings. It was 8 o'clock when the first train reached Richburg, but even at that early hour the upper rows of seats were found occupied by Kichburgers, who had sat ou their elevated perches since daylight, waiting for the show to begin. The assembled multitude sat broiling under the blaze of a hot sun. Those who had umbrellas were allowed to open them, but the intimation was plain and general that when the fight began the umbrellas would have to go. After paying $15, and after coming a hundred miles to see a fight, the crowd was in no temper to tolerate any obstructions to the view. The general aspect of the crowd was anything but tough. The hoodlum element was greatly outnumbered by an eminently respectable crowd. Professional . men, merchants, bankers some from New Orleans, others from neighboring states were present to a preponderating degree. Many of the spectators came from points as far distant as San Francisco in the West and New York and Boston in the Kast; but these were mostly of the sporting variety bookmakers, gamblers, professional pugilists et id omne genus. And while the holders of gilt-edge tickets at $15 each were disembarking and scrambling for places of vantage at the ring side, the $10 people on the second train were haying experiences between New Orleans and the battle-ground. At 2:04 o'clock the train, which was booked to leave at 2 o'clock, started, and then those who had secured seats settled themselves comfortably, many going to sleep. Those who were unprovided with tickets felt ill at ease, fearing each moment tnat the conductor would demand tickets. On the roofs of the coaches quite a number of dead-heads had taken retage and withstood the clouds of dust and cinder as best they could. The train reached a point within a mile oi Slideil Station when it was discovered that there was no more coal. The engine was detached from the train and rau five miles up the road, where a i :U'jply of coal was obtained. After a de- ' lay of half an hour the train again started, and running at the rate of about thirty miles an hour passed Halloo Station, where a large crowd of men, who had come out on the Sunday excursion train to witness the tight, were seen standing disappointed beside the the track. Just beyond this station is the West Pearl river trestle and about a hundred men and boys bad placed themselves here in order to jump on the train when, the speed of the engine was slacked. Of these only one succeeded in getting a foothold on the rear platform of the last coach at the imminent risk of his life. At every station crowds of peopie shouted at the train as it rushed by. but no stop was made. About a mile beyond Fast I'earl river a company of Mississippi militia, who had been sent to the state line yesterday afternoon to prevent the tight, was ,'ound. The speed of the tram had been increased and ran by them at the rate of forty miles an hour, the crowds shooting, yelling at them in derision. About ten miles from the battle ground the train stopped and those on the roofs of the cars descended from their perches. A dirtier, blacker set of men, outside of chimney sweeps, were never seen. Their appearance caused shouts of laughter from more fortunate comrades, who had braved the conductor successfully. In the last coach were a number of prominent sports from the Kast. Principal among them were Joe Coburp, Jimmy Bird, Dominick McCaffrey and Billy Madden. It was a noteworthy fact that, although pus- I V - I ' ri7A,HEzL SCIXTJVAX. sengers on tne tram numbered among them some of the roughest characters in New Orleans, they were very quiet and or- aerty. a. lew ot tnem were drunk. At 9 o'clock the second train reached the battle ground, after several lone and vexa tious delars. The locomotive did not have power to draw the train up grade or around curves. The coaches were also in poor running order, hot boxes being frequent and causing delay. Within twelve miles of the battle ground half of the train was detached to await tne return ot the locomotive. W hen the tram arrived at its destination rush was made to the ring, which was pitcnea halt a mile from the depot. It was 9 o'clock and ten minutes before the train of $10 men made its appearance. and in five minutes after its appearance the amphitheater was a packed mass of eager and perspiring humanity, something lite duuu in number, isy mis time a friendly cloud spread oyer the face of the sun and tempered the burning rays. The crowd waited patiently and in good humor. Many were hungry, all thirsty ana tired, but there was no relief, except at the hands of a colored man who peddled cheese sandwiches of doubtful age at 15 cents a piece, while another colored man peddled water at 5 cents a cud. A wave of delight was caused by the appearance of a man witn a tray lull or niied beer glasses, which sold like hot cakes at 25 cents s glass. For some reason after disposing of His load, he failed to reappear, in spite of repeatea uemanas in concert tor beer from a point directly at right angles to the reporters' stand. They got no beer, however, and somebody started a corner in water and the price rose rapidly from 5 to 75 cents a bucket. At 9:45 Pony Moore and Sullivan appeared within the Luclosure and were received with cheers more at signs of the prospect of an early fight than as a mark of deference. The Irish prince and Sullivan looked a shade pale. The next to appear were Dan Murphy, Tom Costello.Mike Cleary, Joe Murphy and Wakely, Johnson and Barnett, all backers of Sullivan. Bud Kenaud'i appearance was also the signal for applause. Kilrain was the first of the adversaries to put in an appearance. He was accompanied by Charley Mitchell. They were both received with applause and cheurs, in ackhowledgement oi which Mitchell tipped his derby. Kilrain's appearance dismayed his backers. He was unshaven and look haggard, worn and weak. In short be looked scared. He was white under the gills and behaved like a man being led to execution. He Was not stripped, but wore a striped shirt and striped pants. He afterward disrobed in the ring. Soon after Sullivan came, accompanied by the ever-vigilant Muldoon. Sullivan wore a long ulster, or '"sweater," as it is called, extending from his neck almost down to his ankles. His appearance was the signal for a tornado of applause and cheers, a demonstration not without its effect in the Kilrain corner. Both principals were led to seats in corners, diagonally opposite each other, and were surrounded by friends, bottle-holders, backers and a miscellaneous throug of partisans. The fanning process seemed to have an invigorating effect on Kilrain and he began to brighten under its influence. Suilivan, too, looked flushed, but not particularly llorid. He submitted to being fanned with patience and seemed to realize that his destiny hung on the issue of the contest. Sullivan's immediate attendants were William Muldoonj and Mike Cleary, seconds; Dan Murphy of Boston and Tom Costello and Phil. Lynch, umpires. On the other side were Charles Mitchell and Mike Donvan, seconds, W. B. Masterson and Dennis Butler, umpires, and Joe Murphy bottleholder. Everything being ostensibly in readiness, Mitchell advanced to the center of the ring and said: "Gentlemen, Pat Kendrick of New Orleans has been tendered by us as referee and objected to by the other side. They have named John Fitzpatrick. I don't know either of the gentlemen, so I propose we take ballots, as was done in the Sullivan-Ryan fight." The Sullivan party objected. Donovan then proposed Ed Mellen of Boston, who was also refused. Mitchell then suggested, "Let's toss for it." "That's right." shouted the crowd, "That's fair," but even this did not suit the Sullivan contingent. It was Fitzpatrick or nothing with tbem. It began to look as though the Sullivanites were crowding things . and were not so anxious for a fight as they had all along seemed. This must not be attributed to any scheme of Sullivan himself, but the arrogance of his. backers, who were disposed to have things their own way. Finally Mitchell captured the crowd by saying, "All right, gentlemen, I don't know him, hut we understand he is a square man, and all we ask is fair play." The crowd applauded and then the preliminary work was begun. Both principals began to strip. Sullivan was already arrayed for the encounter and had simply to remove his sweater, showing his magnificent torso pink with the glow of health and the perfection of condition. His chest and back looked as big as the side cf a house, and an involuntary buzz of admiration circulated through the crowd when his massive frame was displayed in its towering stature. He wore green knee breeches, white socks and spiked shoes. The American flag encircled his waist like a sash, but did not cover the pitch plaster placed around his body. Kilrain wore one of similar construction, but not so perfectly adjusted as Sullivan's, Kilrain was attired in black tights, blue socks and spiked shoes. When Kilrain's bare form was displayed to the multitude there were audible expressions of disappointment. His skin was of a pale, sickly hue, his chest narrow and the muscles of" his arms somewhat too salient, shrewd observers thought a shade too fine, and it was painfully evident that he wag Zjo match for Suilivan, either in condition or physical power. It is claimed that he weighed 195 pounds and that his antagonist tipped the beam at 205. This was hardly creditable. Tnere was not less than 25 to 30 pounds difference in weight in Sullivan's favor. In the language of an observer, "He looked as if he weighed a ton." John Fitzpatrick, the referee, is a local politician of note, and for many years administrator of public improvements, but defeated in a recent election. His only qualification for the position he accepted was nerve and decision of character. He evidently knew little of London prize-ring rules. He admitted as much when be entered the ring. Raising his hand for silence he said: "I am not conversant with the London prize-ring rules, but I expect to see this fight made a fair test of niaulv superiority, and will do my best in that direction. In regard to the disputed point as to when the thirty seconds be tween rounds shall begin, I decide it shall Degin irom tne time a man talis." This speech was applauded. William h. Harding, on behalf of Richard K. Fox. handed Kilrain $1000 m greenbacks to bet himself. Kilrain took the money and gave it into the hands of the refer ee. where it was covered by a $1000 note furnished jointly by Barney MeGuire of New York and Chief of Police Hughes. Then business of the day began. The earlier rounds of a prize fight are not as revolting as is ordinarily supposed. During the entire progress of the seventy-five rounds neither of the combatants showed outward signs of severe physical punishment. There was - not that abundant flow of blood from the nose or mouth which embellishes accounts of "scraps" between third-rate fighters. Sullivan had his ear split, both of his eyes bunged, his neck scratched and both hands disabled, but evinced no ootward symptoms of suffering. Kilrain's rip was cut, his left ear smashed and his short ribs severely pounded, but he bled to a very inconsiderable extent, and only a big bruise, the size of a man's band, showed where Sullivan's terrificrieht hand repeatedly jabbed him. Later in the light, when Kilrain began to grow weak in leg and arm and tottered about the victim of Sullivan's superior, but greatly diminished in muscular force, then the spectacle became not only revolting, but pitiable. Soilivan seems to have profited some by past experience. He has evidently abandoned rushing tactics. He did not rush to any noticeable extent, but when he did his agile and wiry antagonist, before he began to weaken, invariable landed on his jaw or cheek, or some equally available locality. Sullivan was constantly on the aggressive, but there was an absence of, that" furious impetuosity for which he ' has become noted. He had learned to. respect Kilrain's arm by repute, and his knowledge on that point was greatjy enriched today by actual experience. On thing is evident, Sullivan is no match for Kiirain, neither as a westler or boxer. Give Kilrain Sullivan's immeasurable driving power and expanse of chest and shoulders and no man could stand against him. Kilrain's pluck rjd game-ness was a theme of admiration' for those who understand ring etratogrm' and trne endurance. The Baltiraorean .was practically whipped in the thifU round. Suilivan got in a fierce blow on his side under the heart from which he never recovered. An ordinary man wouid have thrown up the sponge in the next round. Kilrain's seconds themselves acknowledge that the fight was over then, but with the indifference of stoic, the luck of a hero, Kilrain continues the unequal struggle and administered many stinging blows to his adversary, and yet in spite of this an indiscriminating crowd, mistaking caution and strategy for cowardice, yelled at Kilrain, calling him a "cur" and "coward" when he sought to avoid Sullivan's blow bv dodging, or when he tried to out-wind Kim by retreating before him all around the ring. It is undeniably true that after the ninth round, when suffering excruciating pain from his bruise under the heart ana repeated knock-downs, Kilrain did lay himself open to the charge of "foul" by falling down when not apparently knocked down. These falls were repeatedly claimed, but never allowed by the referee. But all this and more was made up and over-balanced in the forty-sixth round, when Sullivan, after knocking Kilrain down, deliberately and unequivocally fouled the latter by i'umping upon his antagonist with both :nees when he lay prostrate before him. It was as unmanly an act as was ever done in the ring, and should have resulted in an award of the fight to Kilrain. Any fair-minded referee with the courage of his convictions and a knowledge cf his duty would not have hesitated an instant. But the "foul" was not allowed, and the half whipped and jeered man. hooted at by the crowd, continued to come up smiling every time, although the certainty of more fearful punishment to come stared him in the face. Even after Kilrain was ready to again come to the scratch, his seconds, fearing direful results, threw up the sponge despite bis protests. It has since transpired that Kilrain's seconds buoyed him up throughout the fight by picturing to him the effect of defeat upon his wife and children. It was not deemed strange then, when Kilrain was seated in his car on the homeward journey, sore and bleeding and brooding over his defeat, the big tears roiled down bis cheek and melted the hearts even of the rough men who accompanied him. The day was full of unpleasant incidents. The hoodlum element, although in the minority, did nearly all of the shouting and cowed an already defeated man by their i savage shouts of triumph and yells for more blood. In the thirty-fonrth round they hissed mm for retreating a perfectly legitimate feature of ring tactics. In the thirty-fifth they hissed for a similar cause and shouted to the referee: "Make him fight." In the thirty-sixth they hooted at a repetition of these tactics, but, weak as he was, when they got into close quarters Kilrain would now and then get iu a lick that made the Boston fighter acknowledge his prowess. In the fifty-second round the crowd shouted to Kilrain, "Fight, you cur," although he was then making a tight that would have made any five of them quail. In the fifty- sixtn rouna one oi . tne crowd shouted, ' Hurrah for Kilrain," but the response was feeble. But when Sullivan got In a telling blow the crowd gave him a yell and cheer of delight. In the sixty-sixth found thesun reappeared and added" to Kilrain's distress, lie was visibly weakening and bitting wild, but whenever time was called came up amiline a forced smile, perhaps, but all the same a smile. I he brutality ot the crowd increased with Kilrain's discomfiture. In the sixty-fourth round they yelled to Sullivan: "Finish him!" and some shouted "Kill him!" Sullivan fought the battle of his life. and. with the exception of the S2d round, fought fairly and squarely. He also took punishment like a Spartan and never lost confidence or nerve. One finger of either hand was broken in the tight, but no one discov ered it but his seconds, lie showed signs of tiring toward the end and had to be helped to bis feet when time was called. There were periods in the fight, even long after the eventful third round, when the issue was in doubt. Had Kilrain been in condition the result might have been different. Just before the tight the snenit of Marion county came the manager, replied defiantly, "That's uli right. Mr. Sheriff; vou have done your duty," and then the ficht went on. As soon as the sponge was thrown up, Muldoon and Cleary ttircw a blanket over the stalwart form of the victor and rushed and pushed him across the ring toward the entrance at the press stand. A loud and long cheer, interspersed with yells, greeted the champion, and an excited crowd of men and boys followed the three closely, bullivan. aespite earnest protestations, was pushed into the road toward a barouche and was driven to the depot to his special car. A ditch had to be crossed in order to reach the coach. Across this the champion sprang lightly, followed by Muldoon and Cleary. Sullivan had received blows on each optic and bis left ear was bleeding where Kilrain had planted a cutting blow. His eyes were swollen and discolored and his cheek was bleeding. On reaching the coach the doors were closed. Shortly thereafter the special train containing the Associated Press representatives and the Kilrain party was detached from the coach containing the Sullivan party and proceeded to the city, leaving the Sullivan special car at Richburg. The coach was attached to the first regular train, and only reached the city tonight, when the champion was conveyed to his quarters by his friends and seconds. ARRANGING THE PRELIMINARIES. Selecting the Referee in the Person of John Fitzpatrick. New Orleans, July 8. There was great excitement at the ring side as Bud Renaud, Mike Donovan and Johnnie Murphy made their appearance, which they did at 9 o'clock a. m. Great excitement among the crowd when it became .apparent that the fight was actually to occur. , On the toss-up for position Kilrain's representative, Mike Donovan, won and selected tne northeast corner. Muldoon, Sullivan's representative, chose the southwest corner. At this juncture the sheriff of the county made his appearance, and in the name of the State of Mississippi commanded peace and retired, this being the only effort on the part of the authorities to interfere with the fight. At this moment the flag of Sullivan, brought from Boston, was placed in his corner amidst great enthusiasm. At about 10 o'clock, the sun having gone behind a cloud, there was no perceptible advantage in either corner. Kilrain was the first to make his appearance, aocompanied by . Mine " Donovan end-Charlie Mitchell. He was greeted with ap- Filanse, but wore a verv serious air, asif ully realizing the work before him. As the crowd recognized the stalwart form of the big fellow as he jumped into the ring the cheers were deafening. He looked in marked contrast to Kilrain, seeming to be perfectly at his ease regarding the termination of the contest. The name of Pat Kenrick of .New Orleans was offered by the Kilrain side as referee, but he was not acceptable to the other side, the representative of Sullivan proposing the name of John Fitzpatrick of New Orleans, saying: "I want the fight today to take place on its merits, and may the best man win. I have only one name to present for the position of referee, and that one is known throughout the state as an upright, just and honest man. I name John Fitzpatrick of New Orleans." Great ap-plauae.l Charley Mitchell said: "I don't know the gentleman- I don't know the gentleman just named, but I think if the other side want to fight the one we have named ought to satisfy them.'' Charley Johnson would not agree, saying if the Kiirain party would not take John Fitzpatrick they did not want to fight. At this juncture Mitchell proposed that they toss up to see which of the above named gentlemen would act as referee, but this did not seem to be the wish of the Sullivan side, though the crowd favored the idea. Then Professor Butler proposed the name of a ?ew York man, who, however, did not prove aoceptahle to the -other side, and, after considerable wrangling over the matter, Charley Mitchell finally : said they were willing to accept Mr. Fitzpatrick and the announcement was received with cheers. Mitchell here went over and examined the spikes on Sullivan's shoes, Cleary doing the same to Kilrain. Fitzpatrick: "I am not very conversant with the rules. This will be a fair contest of the merits of the two men, and I will do the best I can. In regard to the question that has been spoken of as to what time the thirty seconds between the rounds shall commence, I decide that it commences from the time the man fails." W. E. Harding at this moment stepped up to Kilrain and placing $1000 in his Hands, told limi it was sent bv Mr. foi tor him to bet with Suilivan. Kilrain at once went over to Sullivan aud offered to bet him that sum he would win the fight. The bet was immediately' taken up by Sullivan and the money, $2000, deposited iu the hands of the referee. Both men beinc now stripped, it was apparent to every one present tne great superiority possessed by Sul- liyan over his antagonist in the matter of size ana development, the muscles of his arms standing out in big welts, his driving power appearing tremendous, and he seeming in the very best of spirits.

In this round Kilrain struck at least half a dozen apparently foul blows below the belt, which the referee, from: bU poiition, could not see, but which were greeted with hisses by tbe crowd, it aoiearintr; and beiusr so proclaimed by Sullivan's frieuds, that Kilrain wanted to lose on a ioul. The round closed by Kilraiu going down from a light blow on the neck. Kound 4 Both men sparred cautiously for an opening.

First knock-down claimed aud allowed for bullivaa amid prolouged cheers from his admirers. Time 2 minutes. Hound s was very brief, Kilrain simply slipping down to escape punishment, 'lime 30 seconds. Round 0 Kilrain came up looking very serious, probably realiing that he had undertaken a huge contract and as he showed no disposition to come to the center of the ring Sullivan impatiently exclaimed: -stand up and tight like a man; I'm no sprinter, I'm a!ig!itr." As soon as Ktlraiti came near him, Sull'vau made a pass but it fell short, aud Kilrain countered on his stomach, his blows evidently lacking force, doing .suilivan no npnsrent damage. Sullivan made a rush at Kilrain, when the letter turned and hugged him, both being agaiust the ropes.

Kilrain was by no means satisfied, but notwithstanding his protestations he was bundled up in a black shawl and hurried to a carriage In waiting. Kilrain, Donovan. Butler, Murphy and Mitchell drove rapidly to the train aud entered their car. Sullivan, Muldoon and Cleary entered the first coach. When Kilrain had stated himself he was soon surrounded by a host of sympathizing friends, who consoled him for his misfortune. Kilrain wept like a child and continued exclaiming, "I'd bad him beaten." A large crowd had followed the backs and remained standing around the coaches in which Sullivan and Kilrain were. Mr. Sjteventon, who had been Kilrain's friend throughout, remained by ins side and sponged him occasionally, giving him a drink of whisky and water. Kil-. rain would not be consoled, but continued to bemoan the loss of the battle which ha had hoped to win. 1'ro lessor Michael J. Donovan of the New York Athletic club, who so ably seconded Kilrain. I'rofessor Dennis Butler of tbe Southern Athletic club and Johnnie Murphy, bottleholder, remained beside their principal, one relieving the other in ministering to his comfort and relief. None felt the do-feat of Kilrain more than did these people, and Professor Donovan stiated that though Kilrain did not want to throw up the sponge he concluded to do so, for his principal was exhausted from the heat and exercise, as well ns from the punishment be had received but had so nobly stood. Charley Mitchell, Kilrain's trainer, held himself aloof from him, however, but there were many other frieuds of Kilrain's t.iere to take his place. As soon as the two gladiators and other friends had seated themselves in the coaches the train moved oil at a rapid rate. Kiirain appeared to be Buttering more from mental than physical injuries and was very gloomy. At times he wonld brighten up a little and smile, but uiose occasions were rare. His face did not betray the great punishment he had received at the hands of his oig antagonist, lie had a cut under the nose across both lips, and his left eye was slightly discolored and swollen. His right hand bad been injured by a blow on Bullivan 'a head, and his left instep had been cut by the spikes on Sullivan's shoes, which cut through the leather of Kilrain's left shoe, lie had received terrible punishment about the ribs and doubtless suffered considerable pain, but he gave no voice to bis agony, If any he en dured, tie claimed to nave Deen moreover-come by the heat that by the blows of bullivan.Knferring to the fight, Kilrain said that he had not been trained properly, and that he was not in condition when he entered the ring, and this seemed to be the im- Eression of every one who saw him when e entered. Ho would work and get some money together again, he laid, and would once more make a trial lor mi cnampion-ship. He had Sullivan "done" twice, he continued, but he had not been properly trained and was unable to take advantage of this, but he was willing to fight Sullivan again. He punched rjullivon several times and did not seem to bit and he labored under the impression that something must have been done to him ; in other words, that be had been drugged. He did not bave the strength of a cm. but could stand any amount of punishment but could not inflict any, and he could soo that his blows were not hurting Sullivan. lie complained of the manner in which Sullivan had deliberately jumped on hira with both fet while he was down, hut he should not find fault with this, but be had trusted too much to bis friends. One of those aronud him exclaimed, reproachfully, "Some of vour friends, you should sav." ".Sullivan was done for twice,' ho said, but he was also, and could not take advantage of his adversary's condition. Kilrain laid down on the seat with his feet stretched across the opposite seat, and coats being placed over him he fell asleep.

Mitchell replied and quite a crowd gathered around the men in the coach. Mitchell attributed Kilrain's defeat to its being one of his oil days. A number of sporting men who knew Kilrain well and bad seen him in training at Baltimore remarked that something must have been the matter with him, for thev had never seen him hit so feebly as he did today.Johnnie Murphy said it was not Sullivan who knocked Kilrain out, but the sun, for Bullivan did not hurt him much., Kilrain's condition, be thought, was mysterious, and he was overtrained besides. Frof. Butler declared that he had announced his belief in Kilrain and he had stuck to him through thick and thin. Mitchell had dropped him like a dog when the fight went gainst him, but this would not be ihe case with his other frieuds.
